FFmpeg automatically selects the right codec and container without any need to configure it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">Let\u2019s say you want to convert an mp4 file to avi file, you can easily do so :<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">ffmpeg<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\"> -i original.mp4 convert.webm<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">This command takes the mp4 file called <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">original.mp4<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\"> and converts it to the WebM file called<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\"> convert.webm<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">. In this case, as WebM is a well-known video format, FFmpeg already knows which video and audio stream it supports and thus will convert the streams into a valid WebM file.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">Although FFmpeg might not pick the right container you\u2019d need every single time. In the case of containers such as Matroska, it might result in the converted file using the same codec. For example, let\u2019s take this case.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">ffmpeg -i original.mp4 output.mkv<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">Here the file might have the same codec as the original video, which in certain cases might not be what you want.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Changing the Quality of the Video File<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">With FFmpeg you can change the video bitrate and frame rate of the input file as well<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">You can use the following command to change the\u00a0 video bitrate of the output file to 64 kbit\/s:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">ffmpeg -i input.avi -b:v 64k -bufsize 64k output.avi<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">And use this command to restrict the frame rate of the output file to 30 fps:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">ffmpeg -i input.avi -r 30 output.avi<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">You can also adjust the dimensions of your video using FFmpeg. The simplest way is to use a predetermined video size:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">You can even change the dimensions of yout videos using FFmpeg, one of the ways it to use a standard video size<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">ffmpeg -i inital.mkv -c:a copy -s hd720 final.mkv<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">This changes the video to, 120&#215;720, you can even change the width and height manuall as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">ffmpeg -i inital.mkv -c:a copy -s 1280&#215;720 final.mkv<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">This command acts the same as the earlier one, just be wary of the fact that width always comes before height.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Selecting your codecs<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">With FFmpeg, you can select any codec you want by using the -c flag. With this flag, you can set different codecs for different streams. So in case you want to set the audio stream to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">Vorbis<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">, you can use the following command:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">Ffmpeg -i original.mp4 -c:a libvoris convert.mkv<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">If you want to change the video stream along with the audio stream. You can do this as well. Here it\u2019ll make a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">Matroska<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\"> container with a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">VP9 <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">video stream and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">Vorbis<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\"> audio stream using this command:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">Ffmpeg -i original.mp4 -c:v vp9 -c:a libvorbis convert.mkv<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">The command FFmpeg -codecs will print every codec FFmpeg knows about.
